The error gave the Canadian poker pro his third POY win, after capturing the title twice, in 2004 and 2013. <\/p>\n<p>The WSOP confirmed the error in a statement on Nov 8, saying they had wrongly listed the results for <em>Event #68: $1,000 WSOP.com Online No-Limit Hold\u2019em Championship<\/em>, affecting places 32-46, and giving Negreanu some extra points. The Canadian player failed to finish in the money in the online bracelet tournament, but was awarded POY points.<\/p>\n<p>After conducting a recalculation of the points, Campbell, who captured two WSOP bracelets this summer, officially came out on top, with <strong>Shaun Deeb<\/strong> following him at No. 2, and the previously announced winner Negreanu slipping down to No. 3. <\/p>\n<p>A poster on <a href=\"https:\/\/forumserver.twoplustwo.com\/29\/news-views-gossip\/2019-wsop-poy-error-not-dnegs-robert-campbell-wins-poll-added-1756204\/\">online poker forum TwoPlusTwo<\/a> noticed an error in the listing of points and started a thread investigating the alleged mistake. <strong>Alexander Elenskiy<\/strong>, a live poker reporter going by the name \u201c<em>iskander<\/em>\u201d on the forum, revealed that Negreanu was wrongly declared as the winner, if the correct results were to be considered.
